This invention relates? to shoes, one of its objects being to'provid'e a structure wherein the. lining is stitched in place separately from the upper, the box toe and the welt; the shoe being smooth inside, light and flexible and being made either with or without an inner solep' a r H Another object is to provide a shoe in which the lining, etc.',' which are underneath the upper; are tastenedseparately on a mid-- dle sole to which the upper isjalso attached, this middle sole and the welt being s'ubse? quently fastened to the outersole.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combi nation and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described V 1 In said drawi gs, 1 1

Flgure 1 1s a section through a portion of but showing a and v claimed, it being understood that:

changes inthe precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of thefinyention.

: In the accompanying drawings the pre-' ferred forms at the invention have been shown. a

"Figure 6'is another similarse'ction showing a'slightly'm'odified form of shoe wherein the single sole is grooved. c

Figure 7 1s an enlarged section through a,-

portion of amodified form of single sole.

Figure 8 is a section similar to Figure 4 ceiving the lining. c g

Referring to the figures by characters of reference L designates a portion of alast on which the shoe is to be formed. In assembling the parts of the shoe thefinner sole 1 i "and the middle sole 2 are fastened tempora-.

rily to the last meansof nails N; the middle'sole being arranged to extend outwardly beyond the inner sole a sufiicient distance to grooved middle sole for re i. receive the Even henna-fatsausage. T e

lini'rigti is theiifstrle tche'cglg over'tlie lastw-ith an outtiurne'd- 5 edg -1 portion 4: bearing onfthe m1 d"le"' j-"-s'ard""linin gbeing extended -agani 'st theedgei'of the inner sole. It a box toe 5 is; us'e'dit i-splacedlon {the lining with its flange etxt nugin outward y and resting oirtlie'fian'ge 4 asshoiwn in Figure '2. The" two fla-nges ai-e then"sewed together and to the; middl'e s'ole' by stitches indicated" at "7 The upper 8 is nextappliedandjhas its free edges outturned' to provide a flange 9 resting on the middle sole beyond the edges of the flanges 4: and 6. A'welt 10' is positioned onthe flange'9 but before this is done said flange is fastened to the middle sole by stitches indicated'at '11. An outer sole 12 is appliedito the outerface of the middle sole andthe same stitches 13 which'are used for fastening the welt 10'in'position are also extended through the flange 9 and through the middlesole and the outer them all together; e

7 Under some conditions the middle 'sole can be formed with a groove 14 to receive I the edge portion of the lining l5 as shown in Figure '8,Ithereby to render the shoe less sole for holding V bulky adjacent the, welt than is the structure shown in Figure 4. j I I I Cheaper gradesof shoes canbe made with single soles as shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7. c

The single sole 15can be'formed with a slit 16 extending thereinto from its edges so as to provideL-a lip l7 which canbe turned down as indicated by broken lines. As

shown in'Figure 5 the lining 18 can be fastened directly to this sole 15 by stitches 19 extendng tothe slit 16 andif a box toe 19 is used the same stitches can be employed for holding it in place. The 'upper20 is fastened by stitches- 21 extending through the.-

edge portion of the upper and through sole 15 to slit 1'6; Thelip 17 is then pressed back into place so as to close the slit 16 after which all of vthe partsfcan be held together by stitches 21 extending through sole 15, lip

17 upper 20 andthe welt 22. Instead of fastening the lining, etc, uponthe fiat top faceof the sole 15 said sole can-be channeled as indicated at 23m receive the edge portions ofthe lining, box toe and upper, thereby rendering the shoeless bulky in appear-v ance. This-channel can be'cut at any desired angle'and in Figure '7 the bottom of the A shoe constructed as described is very 111.? v v channel has been illustrated at 24 as inclined. 3

smooth inside, light and flexible and can be 7 made easily. I Y

' If desired an inner sole 25 can be used With the shoe illustrated in Figure 5. o V l/Vhat is claimed is: l. A shoe including middle sole" and outer sole portions alining secured to the middle soleand having an outturned marginal portion terminatinginvvardly from the edge of themiddle sole, an upper secured to the mid dle sole an'dhavingan outturned portion in terpo sed between the edge of the lining and the outer edgeof the middle sole, and an inner sole upon the middle sole and having its edges abutting against the lining at its point of contact with the'middle sole.

2. A'shoe including middle sole and outer sole portions, a lining secured to the middle sole and having an outturned marginal portion terminating inwardly from the edge of the middle sole, an upper secured to the middle sole and having an outturned portion interposed between the-edge, of the lining and the outer edge of the middle sole, an inner sole upon the middle sole and having its edges abutting against the lining at its point of contact Withthe middle sole, means ex tending through the middle sole forattaching the outturned portion of the lining and the outturned portion of the upper to the middle sole, themarginal portion of the outer sole constituting means for concealing said attaching means.

V In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
